Part of what makes this chocolate bark so special is the addition of D’vash Organics Premium Khalas Dates. The naturally sweet, nutrient dense super food that is the candy of nature adds both its own unique flavor and also delicate chewy texture.
I love using D’vash Organics in both my baking and cooking. Their date syrups are a great one to one swap for other types of sweeteners. Their dates are ideal for just snacking on, but I also love adding them to my recipes for both the flavor and also all of the nutritional benefits.
In addition to the dates, this chocolate bark packs a punch of crunch. Both pistachios and almonds add a little kiss of savory along with their crispy bite. Cranberries offer of a tangy note, and dried apples round out the colorful array of addins.
The beauty of this recipe is you can use one type of Dairy Free chocolate, or you can have fun and mix up the varieties. Let the baking sheet be your canvas!
